The Origin Collection: Where Place Becomes Identity
The Origin Collection by AukCliff is built around a simple idea: the places you have been and the paths you have taken are part of who you are. Every piece features New Zealand-designed original graphics inspired by vintage trail badges, national park signage, and heritage adventure typography. These are not mass-produced stock graphics. They are custom adventure graphics created to capture the spirit of specific landscapes and the people who explore them.
Each design is printed on premium Comfort Colors garment-dyed tees and heavyweight Cotton Heritage hoodies. The garment-dye process gives every shirt a broken-in feel from day one, with rich colour depth that only improves with wear. Over 20% of Origin Collection customers come back for three or more pieces, building their own collection of place-inspired apparel.
Tees use the Comfort Colors 1717, a 6.1oz heavyweight garment-dyed cotton, available in sizes XS through 3XL in a unisex fit. Hoodies use the Cotton Heritage M2580, a 9oz premium fleece, available in sizes S through 2XL. Size up if you prefer a relaxed fit.
Celebrate the Places and Paths That Define You
From volcanic coastlines to alpine ridgelines, The Origin Collection captures identity-driven phrases like Born to Roam, Raised on Peaks, Life on the Edge, and Born of the North. Each design pairs bold outdoor typography with location-inspired graphic art, turning a favourite landscape or mindset into something you can wear every day.
AukCliff is designed in New Zealand and ships to over 30 countries. If you are drawn to the Captain Puffin Collection, which features hand-drawn wildlife art by illustrator Maria, the Origin Collection sits alongside it as the adventure and place-focused side of the brand.
